Windows Phone 8.1 GDR1 Chassis Requirements uncovered

Neowin has published the chassis requirements for the upcoming Windows Phone 8.1 update, GDR1

With Windows Phone 8.1 starting to roll out to devices, it's probably no surprise that Microsoft is already working on the next update to its mobile operating system. Windows Phone 8.1 GDR1 hasn't remained completely hidden from the world, but it has only popped up here and there without a definitive release date. Today, it looks like the chassis requirements for GDR1 have been uncovered on the OEM Developers site, showing some changes for the upcoming release.

While some of the changes are standard fare, others seem to remove the more stringent requirements, increasing the possibility of seeing lower-end devices with Windows Phone 8.1 GDR1. Although a majority of the specifications remain unchanged, there are a couple of new tweaks to the requirements that are surprising.
